I'm basically fucked. Bad youth, bad things, but I enjoyed every single minute of it. Now going down to 3 days a week because thats all I have the energy for.

Money is no longer important, its time that's the important currency.

One thing is; that the mid 20s guy we now have, who can loose me on the modern stuff like diagnostics, mapping and shit like that, does give me respect and always asks for me to sort out the engineering stuff he is not too up to speed with. Got to give him his due, he listens, learns and logs what he has been told.

Apart from all that, the pensions are soon kicking in, so 'screw the world 'its my time now'.

And YEP, things ache, are stiff (not in a good way), boredom is now a highlight when looking at the media offerings we have thrown upon us via multinationals that have agendas, and the news is made up of sponsored crap and items to make me feel that I am obligated to give 'just 2 quid a month.....

I'm certainly feeling my age but have been through some health stuff in the past few years. On the plus side because I needed neurosurgery to prevent me from being paralysed I was offered early retirement from my job in the City back in 2010 which meant I retired five years early at 55. No more daily commute, sitting in an office with a bunch of very dull people or the stress of work itself for a company that wanted more from you for less reward. Although I am in some kind of pain every day my time is my own and a couple of years ago I managed to sell my house in SE London/Kent borders and buy a nice detached four bed house with big drive and double garage in Lincs for quite a lot less so at last a few quid in the bank.

And here's a piccie of me with my two old motors a couple of weeks ago, fat but happy!

I'm 27. And I feel I'm stuck in an awkward stage.
I can't be arsed with young people and their fancy talk/fashion/reality TV shit. But I feel my aches and pains and grumpiness are only at the early stages to classify myself as old.
